claimed myself a Buddhist
but not really that pious, religious
and definitely more like a by-birth religion
and we practice Taoism
as the lame joke goes
actually we are just a bunch of ConfuSiounist
*
i can’t imagine one day
if i am stuck on a sinking ship
on a stormy night
well, just imagine Titanic, ok
to whom will i plead for help
*
disasters are happening
more frequently than ever
they say ignorance is bliss
but i say this is sheer selfishness and blindness
one day it will strike me and you too
*
during Introduction to Geography
they explained all the phenomenon
from two different perspective
*
firstly, the more widely-agreed one
men have done far too many destruction
to the environment
and now Mother Earth is sick
i believe everyone has seen this logo before
the Earth with a grumpy face and thermometer
*
here you are

2nd explanation
this is a millennial cycle
you see
temperature swings is a cycle
just like business cycle
there is trough and peak
so it’s beyond our control
and natural disasters are just unpredictable
*
Dinosaurs they have reigned the Earth
yet got wiped off, completely
due to the drastic fall in temperature
it’s not that Mother Nature is
taking revenge on them or something
and the final strike – the meteoroid
*
in fact i think that they are better tenants
compared to human beings
who are modifying the Earth so much
this is going against the tenancy rules
*
well
these two schools of theories
both sound reasonable
but imagine the 3rd school
combination of the two
ok lemme recap the two theories
1st – the disasters are men made
2nd – it is natural cause
*
so…
the 3rd, what if it’s the combination of both
ok there is in fact the existence of a natural cycle
and we just don’t know when will a meteoroid strikes
which means men will eventually be wiped off
and now the destructions that we are doing
are actually facilitating, quickening the pace
of ultimate destruction
*
so…
love your Mother Earth
and your Mummy too
because we just don’t know
will we be still around tomorrow
*
take-home point
ignorance is not bliss
not take this as the excuse
for you not to watch the daily news
“oh.. i don’t want to know all the unhappiness ”
“i watch tv just to de-stress..not to get distressed ”
and rather spend the time watching Family Guy
watching entertainment news
soap operas, music videos
hilarious clips on YouTube
*
well i don’t mean to say that
entertainment is bad
i don’t watch them
i do watch entertainment news,
in fact loads of them
*
just that spare a little time
to take this environmental issue seriously
and do your parts
can you?
